flaboy1968 3 Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 I just booked our June 2014 trip. Staying for 8 nights...6/21-6/28...leaving on the 29th. average cost for a full hookup site was 94.00 a night. Not really thinking that it is worth it!!! We ( wife and 2 boys) only go to the water parks a few times while we are there so we don't really need to be close to anything. I love camping at Disney but I can book somewhere else very close by for half that price....yes it's not the Fort but......the beer is just as cold in my cooler there as the Fort.....and the rain is just as bad. Thoughts anyone??? Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Millermouseketeers MaryAnn 150 Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 For us it is worth it. Love the Fort! We go to the parks a few days & the rest of our days mess around the fort, Downtown Disney & resort hop, go to the Poly for dole whips. We go to the campfire maybe watch a movie and/or make s'mores. It's just so relaxing & yet lots to do at the Fort. Guess you just have to decide if you would have as much fun at the other campground. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Daverene 14 Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 For me it's child hood memories soooooo relaxing its worth it If you spend 1/2 price not to be happy on vacation not worth it to me but up to you Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 For us, shedding the car is the beauty of the Fort. If we stay offsite, we have to drive everywhere. If we are at the Fort, we can go looping, stop by the trading post, go to the movie, or go to the beach and just chill. We do go to the parks, but feel we have the freedom to go for an hour or two if we so choose. If we're staying offsite, we tend to go all day and wear ourselves out. For us, the extra money is worth it. Plus there are usually other Fiends around and if not already planned, impromptu cookouts usually pop up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Momof6....aka Marty 769 Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 Besides, Lou won't come visit you if you are not at the Fort. If you put out a Fort Fiends sign, he just might stop by, as well as other Fiends! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mtnmanky...aka Leon 72 Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 We find that by the time we add in the cost of parking each day, and the ability to come back to the camper for lunch and a nap, that helps with the cost of the Fort. And x2 on the memories, esp with the kids and g'kids. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 Where is this campground that is close and half the price? We have had discussions like this before, and when you start crunching numbers (gas, parking, etc.) the price difference isn't usually that great. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
